ALUM AND AMMONIA
Dr. II. Endcmann, for twelve years chemist of the
New York Board of Health, in his paper read before the
American Chemical Society at Washington, in October,
1891, states that an ammonia baking1 powder acts on the
glutea of the flour, altering its chemical properties, and
cites numerous high authorities to prove its injurious
effect on the stomach and kidneys.
Liebig the great chemist says: "Tho use of alum in
bread is very injurious, and it is very apt to disorder
the stomach and occasion acidity and dyspepsia."
The following powders are known to contain eltlwtr
ammonia or alum or both: Koyal, Chicago Yeast, Calumtt,
Bon Bon, Tayfot't One Sjoon, Unrivaled, Forest City Snow Jl,
